I recently joined The Service Guild.  The Service Guild provides classroom volunteers and assists in fundraising efforts for The Bell Center.  Ellis is my student this semester at The Bell Center.  I spend a few hours every Wednesday with sweet Ellis.  She works hard each week and is such a pleasure.  Always smiling.  Ellis has been diagnosed with You-Hoover-Fong Syndrome.  The Bell Center provides a safe and motivated learning environment for her.

The Bell Center is dedicated to maximizing the potential of children from birth to three years of age who are at risk for developmental delay.The staff of The Bell Center begins the work of maximizing a childs potential as soon as the child is evaluated. This evaluation assesses a childs strengths and weaknesses across five developmental domains: gross motor, fine motor, expressive and receptive language, cognition and emotional/social. From this assessment, each member of the childs transdisciplinary team develops goals in each area specific to that child.The Bell Center follows a transdisciplinary approach to providing early intervention services. This allows all areas of the childs development to be targeted every time they are at The Bell Center. Through this frequent targeting of developmental goals comes success as goals are achieved. As one goal is mastered, the next appropriate goal is is targeted, ensuring that the child is always striving to maximize their potential.
